Q. 31. With whom was the Covenant of Grace made?
Answ. The Covenant of Grace was made with Christ as the second Adam, and in him with all the Elect as his Seed: Thus that Learned Assembly.
From hence it doth appear, that this opinion of two distinct Covenants was not received by that Assembly; they own but two Covenants i. e. that of Works and that of Grace, and I am sure the Scriptures bear witness of no other Covenant of Redemption, but that of Grace and Reconciliation, which includes Redemption and all Covenant-Blessings. My Brethren, That very Covenant made between the Father ⟨p. 217⟩and the Son, was hidden or kept secret as to the clear manifestation of it till Christ came, and then it was manifested, and the clear revelation of it is in the Gospel, which shows how God manifesteth the grace of this Covenant by offering Pardon and Peace to sinners, by revealing of Christ who is called the Covenant, and offering him to them for Life and Salvation; so that this Covenant contains all Grace, Mercy and Redemption.
